OUR D1srIHaUIsHED GUESTS.

The co,t;nuous ovation rendered
President Cleveland from Washing
ton City to st. Louis speaks IN a
more eloquent language than any
that cou.d possibly be written or
spoken. of his great popularity with
the great masses of the people, not
only as president who has the
courage of his convictions to do his
whole duty, regardless OF the conse-
ouences to his individual interests,
but as a man fresh from the people,
of the people, sacrificing all things
for the good of the people, whose
servant he has the distinguished hon.
or to be. He is true American In
every sense of the word, faithful to
every tlust imposed upon him, loyal
to his oath, to his Office, to the peo-
pie and to the government, one In
all. He has been tried from the
smallest to the greatest and has not
been found wanting in any respect.
He is incorruptible, truthful, cour-
ageous and the people show their
love for Grover Cleveland while they
h onor the office he holds.
His visit to the west has no opolitics
in it and he positively refuses to al
low it to be brought UP, in spite Of
the efforts of few of the ultra par
tisan papers. He passed through
Ohio in the night, when by going
through in the day time and collect
ing large crowds he could have been
of material interest to the democratic
party that is now fighting bitter
fight in that state. He comes by
urgent invitation from the western
people to visit them in their homes,
to see the vast resources OF tnlS sec
ton of country with its rapid i'm
provements, it's great and growing
wealth. The west is proud to re-
ceive as it's guests Grover Cleveland
and his estimable wife, and it is to
be hoped that these distinguished
guests will meet with no mishap
that will in the least tend to mar
the pleasure of their stay among us.
The presidential party was in st.
Louis the first of the week, from
there they go to Chicago. They
will arrive in Kansas City on the
night of the 18th and spend the 18th
in that city.

Following close on the expose
by Ignatius Donnelly of Shakespeare,
IN which he claims to have discover
ed through the agency of q key, that
Bacon wrote the Shakespearisu
plays comes the startling revelation
that Henry w. Longfellow never
wrote the poems that are accredited
TO him, but that they were written
BY Bloodgood Cutter, the Long Is.
land poet, the Homer of country
fairs. OF this fact Prof. Poucrat;us
OConnelly claims to have found con.
vincing proof. He takes "a Psalm
OF Life for the key in this wonder
fui expose. 1t is well for the liter.
ature Of our day and the reputation
ana honor OF those great minds that
have contributed SO much to make
this literature what it is, that the VA
porings of such cranks as Donnellv
and O'Connelly, are regarded as
naught by reading and thinking peo-
pie. They never add to but simpx
endeavor to pull down what great
minds have built up.

consider the inclement weather Civ

with the beautiful, life giving sun

Judge John p. Rea. of Mime,

Judge John P. Rea, of Minnesota,
was elected Commander-in, Chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
the st. Louis reunion last week. The
name OF Gen. w. H. Slocum, lof New
York, a brave man, gallant soldier
and true gentleman, was before the
order for that Office, but he had no
chance OF success from the start, as
his political views were not such as
would harmonize with the vast ma.
lority OF that order, he being a strong
democrat. His friends should not
have submitted his name.

Boston Corbett, the man who shot
John Wilkins Booth while he was
surrounded in barn with no posi-
ble means of escape, has been de-
clared hopelessly insane, and taken
to the Kansas State Insane Asylum.
Corbett has imagined ever since the
tragedy that the friends of Booth
would assassinate him, and his mind
gave way under the strain.

An Upright Judge.

Judge White, of Kansas City, is
made of the right kind of material.
Friday jury in his court tried a
fend named Snyder, for attempting
to ravish a girl seven years old. He
was convicted and sentenced to six
months in the county Jail by thejury
The clerk had scarcely finished read
ing the verdict when Judge White,
frowning angrily, thumped violently
on the desk and exclaimed: "Mr
Clerk, read that verdict again."
The verdict being read, the judge
inquired, $50 say you all, gentle
men of the jury'" The answer being
in the affirmative the judge said:
''Gentlemen, I shall take the liberty
to set your verdict aside. Ifyou had
found the defendant not guilty 1
should have nothing to say, but
when you find him guilty and assess
the punishment at six months, you
perpetrate an outrage. If you think
men may take female children from
the cradle for the purpose of crafty
ing their lustful desires, and then
escape upon an Imprisonment of six
months, you are a disgrace to the
civilization of the day. You will all
now be discharged from attendance
and forever disqualified as jurors in
this court"
The jurors sheepishly made for
the court room doors. The case now
stands as if it had never been tried,
and another trial will be necessary.
Snyder was recommitted to Jail. A
large crowd was in the court room.
and the summary action of Judge
White was applauded.

Utterly Un-Christian.

'All things are lawful for me, but all
things edify not" What rcbuke these
words are sometimes, to great deal
that is in our lives! The frivolous man,
the self-indulgent man-how he may
go on for years. not committing any one
marked sin which so shows itself that he
can not mistake it! how he may go on
for years and years, getting deeper and
deeper in the mire of selfishness, and
unawares of his own state, simply be-
cause nothing in his life has reused him,
has stirred him! If he did some one
wicked thing that would awake him,
he would know then that he was wick
ed; but as it is, he goes on from day to
day, doing nothing at all which is dis
tinctly and markedly in opposition to
Gods law; but meanwhile the whole
spirit and bent of his life is self-indul-
gence all through; and as soon as he
let's himself alone, as soon as he
is off his guard, he sinks at once into
self-indulgence. That is not the Chris
tian spirit. The selfish spirit is more
opposed to the Christian spirit than
any thing else that can be named; and
yet how possible it is that man shall
not see it in himself, how possible it is
that he may come not only TO be self
indulgent, but to be actively selfish,
and to be requiring all around him to
submit to his own selfish will and pleas
ure; and, because he has, as it were,
established it rs rule amongst all
with whom he lives, that he is to be
given way to, therefore he is quite un.
conscious how selfish he really is
How possible that kind Of character is,
and how utterly uni -Christian!-R. Req

take their own characters In hand thae
they may trim them and mold them
into likeness to the perfect character Of
our Lord. Their tempers are quick,
and they know It; but they take no
pains to bring their impulses of anger
under discipline. They are avaticious,
or they are self-indulgent, or they are
Of jealous disposition, or they are Of
an indolent temperament; and they let
the natural currents Of their natures
flow right on without any attempt to
check them, or to turn them into other
channels. 1t is Christian mans bus
mess to train his soul till every power
and faculty of his being falls into line
with the will of God. 1t is Christian
mans business to be Christ-like, loving,
sweet, patient, devout, well-poised and
full of the consciousness of God. In
stead, how many men seem to be con-
tent with themselves just as they areP
How many even 60 so far-when gently
expostulated with for making no more
effort toward self-correction and SYM
metry-as to justify themselves by say
ing: "Oh. it is my nature!" "It is my
way!" They do not try to be different
and better Such temper or attitude
simply marks the absence Of any worthy
aim in the Christian life.
The third particular or sphere in which
there should be q very distinct aim, con-
Germs the doing Of something to testify
to ones own sense Of obligation to Christ
for His salvation, and to help forward
the Kingdom Of God. There are Chris
tians who feel their way into activity
and great usefulness without any out
side assistance. There are other Chris
tians who will take hold and do what
they can when the way and the work
are pointed out to them. But there
are, one is almost inclined to say, null
titudes of Christians who not only show
no sign of disposition to be workers
for Christ, but who betray no sense of
obligation, either to Him through
whom they are saved, or to the count
less souls still outside his redeeming
grace, to do their utmost to bring all
men into the faith of the Son of God.
But it does seem beyond controversy,
even to casual reader of the Word,
that disciples of Jesus are to be not only
hearers but doers. They are to put some
thing of themselves-Of their thought,
their energy, their substance-and just
as much, too, as possible, into the up
building of the kingdom of righteous.
ness in the earth. What blessed
thing it would be for each disciple OF
the Lord to set before himself def.
mite task, like reaching some soul with
the light, or getting a little child into
the Sabbath-school, or aiding mission
or influencing a young man for his
good, or helping to establish some
good institution on a more secure ba.
sis, and then to follow it up till the
thing should be done.
At all events there can be no prog
ress in the Christian life without al
aim. An aim, to be worthy of cherish
ing. and to be helpful, must look for
ward to growth in the knowledge o.
Christ, and to the rounding out o
character into the likeness of Christ
and to increasing usefulness in the SER
l.yice of Christ.-Adcance
